Strange Ranger

I avoided this route for years because of its funkous name, but it actually climbes quite nicely and is a good addition to the Project Wall.

Originally bolted in a aid solo frenzy in one afternoon by Duane Raleigh, this route collected cobwebs for a few years until George Squibb came along and freed it. It is one route left of

at the last bolt, sharing the same anchors.

Start with the second bolt pre-clipped (it would be nice to move this for free climbing) and bust a funky boulder problem to good holds under a roof. Stick in those knees, dyno high and left then work up flakes to a good jug. A final, complex boulder problem over the crux lip leads to a decent shake and some 12a getting up to the anchors.

10-12 draws.
